Transition

When God first "downloaded" what I believed to be a call for intercession for my county, Orange County CA, I prayed obediently, but from a third person perspective. Well, that changed about six months following "the prayer assignment". Funny this, God would "show up" as some of us say, while I was driving or working on my sign and pillow business. A stream of thoughts about house church would suddenly flow like a waterfall through my mind. Suddenly, I found myself pondering different aspects of house church, that prior to the "waterfall" of thought, would not have interested me in the least. I was content to pour myself into a couple of positions at my church as a staff pastor, responsible for a slice of the pie if you will. I was quite comfortable with responsibility for only some of the whole sum of church life. God turned that settled place on it's side, even upside down! He did this through a series of waterfall downloads. It would start like this; God: tithing is different in House Church. Me. Oh, we are talking about house church again? God: tithes no longer pay for brick and mortar, money is freed up to go to the poor, a neighbor in need, a missionary. Me: Oh, ok, but what does that have to do with me? God: "silence." Waterfalls of thought or conversation continued for a few weeks. Then He narrowed to topic to me. I realized I was on a journey of reassignment that would change my comfortability, and it would affect a lot of people as well. When it became clear that disconnection was the destination, the how to walk that out began.
